OVERVIEW

This simple PHP, Perl & MySQL project is designed to read a database
of users and send out an automated email message on there Birthday. A
separate Perl script needs to be setup in crontab to run once a day in
the morning.
Check back soon as the project is still in development and new features
will be added.
(See the README.txt and INSTALL.txt for more info.)

QUICK SETUP OVERVIEW

Step 1. Edit the config.php file (update values to match your setup).
Step 2. Edit crontab (create a cron job that will run once a day in the
morning).
Step 3. Test the script with ./email.pl or perl email.pl

If you would like to help with PHPBirthday.org send me an email. Currently I
could use help with
the devolpment process in adding in new features to help make the script
more useful for others. This script was created after using
birthday.pl v1.0 created by Nikola Pavkovic which I used for about 3 years.
The reason for this project is that I wanted to create an easy
to use birthday reminder that could be used at work
and updated by everyone on a local intranet web portal. PHPBirthday was at
first created for a small office that wanted to keep track of
about 30 employees but has now turned into a free open source project.
Its always nice to know someone remembered your
Birthday.
